Starting in October we have a swell of birthdays in our family. And holidays... it goes something like this: birthday, birthday, Halloween, birthday, Thanksgiving, CHRISTMAS{!!}, New Years, birthday, birthday, birthday, birthday, Valentine’s Day... and then we rest.
These months are filled with traditions. Big ones: homemade birthday cakes, gifts, special breakfasts and carefully chosen birthday dinners, pumpkin picking, costumes, gratitude lists, pumpkin pie, mom’s stuffing, handmade ornaments, holiday baking, handmade gifts, snowflakes taped onto windows, movie nights, Christmas light drives, and on and on and on.
in our family we have birthday birthday school starts birthday birthday halloween birthday birthday thanksgiving birthday birthday anniversary Christmas birthday birthday New Year's birthday Valentine's Day birthday birthday birthday birthday . . . HA! We're out of control.
ReplyDeleteThis is the busy season for us too. But I love all of the celebrations during the darkest months of the year. In fact, my husband and I got married on New Year's Day just to add another holiday into the mix! :)
